Third, there is the Christmas sweater. The sweater was sent to my wife by my 85 year old grandmother. It was obviously from a thrift store and was starting to tear in places and smelled like old basement. Sad part was this wasn't a joke gift, she actually sent it as a present.

Third, the plate. My mother sent this to me a couple of years ago. It is a picture of my dad from the mid-70s when he was a Santa at the Springfield, MO Sears-Roebucks store. On the back she wrote "you always knew who the real santa was" At the time I thought it was creepy and dumb but we bring it out every year now and it gets prominently displayed in the kitchen and is one of my most cherished Christmas decorations.

Fourth, Jim Beam Black... because it is the only good thing to come out of Kentucky.

Oh, and I don't think that plate is creepy at all, I would be so proud if my dad had been a department store santa. Sad but true story: My dad has never grown any facial hair at all, not even a moustache.

I totally phonekinged this earlier, but I have to comment now. While it's not a sweater, this is one of the most ugly, manly, and repulsive christmas pictures ever. And I mean that as a total compliment. Well done.
